A shout out to Michael at MacNichol' this morning for his suggestions.

Over the weekend, I installed a bone saddle and restrung the guitar with Dunlop Heavy Core Light 80/20's. Whether it was the saddle, the strings or both, I don't know, but it has put the Rainsong Shorty over the top. I was messing around on my Vermont porch with a friend who plays a 1978 Martin M-36. I finger pick, he primarily strums and riffs. The Shorty cut through magnificently, including the baselines.

Thanks Michael.
